does anyone know how to fix this? It only does it at low RPMs but it would feel like a rigged solution if i just raised the idle, right now its at like 6-7 hundred rpms

What is happening is the idle dipping down doesnt send enough power to the alternator which in turn cant keep the oil pressure up.
Dont know how to fix it but thats the explanation my friend gave me |
